My Project

The ability to throw and catch is essential in almost any type of sport that requires a ball. In Physical Education, the students will spend about 2 months working on these skills so they transfer what they learned to various sports.

The supplies purchased will give the students fun and sometimes challenging opportunities to work on their throwing and catching skills.

The supplies will be used with our Kindergarten through Grade 5 students.

With a variety of new equipment, the students will be engaged while working on improving their throwing and catching skills.
